I am 17 years old ,got diagnosed with pcos few months back as of usg scan I have multiple immature follicles in both my ovaries and the volume of right ovary is 11 whereas of left is 11.5.endo thickness 3.5 mm, doctor told me to take regestrone 5 mg for 7 days and corectia tablet for 1 month .i haven't had a period for 5 months. I had menarche at 12.5 yrs, had regular cycles until two years after menarche, during 2018 due to study stress, improper diet and sitting hours, missed three cycles and then last year due to same reasons missed 4/5 periods and gained weight over the past two years to max 69 kgs. My height is 5'3.5.my fasting insulin, fsh ,e2, lh, prolactin ,tsh t3, t4 ,total testosterone. All these are in normal range a/c to early follicular phase a/c to my doctor. She said I have acquired pcos due to my sedentary lifestyle as no female in both paternal and maternal families has it. So she said it is not genetic in my case though my grandfather has type 2 diabetes .she said my body is not processing insulin correctly. Is it the reason and can I reverse my pcos with lifestyle changes. I have been losing weight by following a diet and exercising daily since june but didn't get a natural period after march .please help me reverse this and tell the possible cause in my case. I have some darkness on the sides of my neck, under my breasts ,stretch marks on the sides of lower abdomen .hair fall but not acne, 2-3 pimples which vanish on their own after some time.

Pcod/pcos is a common hormonal disorder in women which can lead to weight gain and irregular periods. While most women depend on pills to deal with it, these simple changes in your lifestyle will help you deal with the condition in a better way. 1.Nutritional approach: deficiency of micronutrients contributes to insulin insensitivity and compromise ovarian function. So, 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of plain water first thing in the morning (preferably within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't overeat 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, seasonal fruit (eat whole fruit not juice), a cup of curd/milk etc 5. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. Take simple food like rice n dal in dinner. 6. Avoid fast foods n fried foods7. Take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. 8. Drink lot of water9. Everyday preferably sleep on same time10. Maintain active life style2. Exercise strategies: regular workouts are non-negotiable. They are essential to burn off fat stores for hormonal balance and regular ovulation. You should join a gym for weight training. Do it 2-3 times a week with at least 48 hours in between 2 sessions. Other days you can do cardio exercises like yoga, cycling, swimming etc. 3. Sleep: adequate sleep is non-negotiable too. Sleeping at a more or less fixed time every day and for an adequate number of hours is a prerequisite to keep hormones in sync. 4. De-stress yourself: love yourself more than anyone else, prioritize your health, learn to say no, take time out to exercise and relax. Pursue your favorite activities, learn a new skill, and never ignore your body signals. For more details you can consult me.
